Back in 2008, the Honda Super Cub turned 50. And to celebrate the occasion the good people at Honda gave away 60 (1 for each million sold) to 60 artists to create the exhibition Love Cub 50, which was started by fans to celebrate the 50 years of the Honda Super Cub. These one of a kind creations are now being sold off to raise money for Unicef on Yahoo! Japan you can get the link at Japanese Nostalgic Car.
The Honda Super Cub is still sold today in Japan and many parts of the world. So much so that in Vietnam “Honda” is the word for motorcycle. Its been abused by millions, tortured on the Discovery Channel, written about in a few songs and upgraded many many times.
Honda is still working on a proper replacement for the Super Cub, but i think this video, made by Honda, sums it all up.

Minkara is like a Japanese Cardomain. Use the search field (top right) to type in a chassis model (eg: DC2R) and find home pages of owners living in Japan. It’ll take some time for you to get used to the interface, but it’s well worth the effort!
The lads over at TunerZine have got their hands on a Honda Fit (also known as the Jazz in some countries) as a project car, and already they’ve made some significant changes. The linked article covers how they’ve switched the front-end to the JDM fascia.
HINcity.com have got a great collection of wallpapers available for download, though it’s a little disappointing that there’s no 1280×1024 option! A bit odd that they go from 1024×768 to 1600×1200, but them’s the breaks. That’s what Photoshop is for, peeps! Aside from that, it’s a great website for checking out the Hot Import Nights import scene in the US.
